Future Doctor and a Fashion Designer?

It's graduation season. The time of year that many young adults take on the next big step in life, whether it be college or the working world. Delanie too, took the next big step in her academic career, one that spans a lengthy two years. Today she graduated from Pre-K and will be joining the k-12 ranks starting in the late summer/early fall.

It's debatable if a Pre-K graduation is even necessary, but it was very cute none-the-less. Each child got to be called up for a certificate, and while they were receiving their completion diplomas, the teacher talked about what each child had said they wanted to be when they grew up. In the week previous to the ceremony, she had asked each child and then recorded what they had said.

Delanie decided she wanted to be a Doctor. Oddly enough, her two best friends in class also said the same thing. Since it seemed as though they were just repeating each other, the teacher delved a bit deeper to try to get some originality out of her. When asked if she wanted to be a doctor that worked with kids and babies or a doctor that worked with adults she said, "I want to be a doctor that works with mommies that have babies in their tummies." Grandma was proud since she is a Labor and Delivery Nurse.

After the diplomas were all presented, we were ushered into the auditorium to see a slide show of the past year set to music. It was really cute. There was also a celebratory gathering at a park with a picnic lunch.

Paxton, on the other hand, picked out a very special outfit all by himself for the occasion:


OK so the boots aren't exactly new, but check out the goggles! Summer accessories at their finest.

I also might add that I think it is a bold move to go sans pants. It could be all the rage this summer, you never know! And look, shoes on opposite feet....I LOVE IT!

I love, LOVE the look for the summer! With all the rain we are getting, it will work well for our area.

Can you imagine the groans this little man will have when he is older and you flash these pictures around? Oh, the fun you can have with his future girlfriends. lol
